[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1700191, member: 101755"] Let me throw out a something thing that I didn't see mentioned in previous posts. Brass; I tried a little test with my 6.5 Grendel a few weeks ago. I have never liked Federal brass because my dad doesn't like it, but I now have my own reasons for not liking it. I had found about 15 pieces of Federal brass at the range. So I treated them just like I would Hornady brass. Even started with 15 fresh pieces of each. I full length size, trim, chamfer the neck, clean the flash hole on all the cases. I use a Hornady powder thrower to get close. Trickle in the last few 10th...seat my bullet to maximum mag length. Remember, these were reloaded to the exact powder weights. The velocity of both brands of brass were the same, but I had great SD (single digit) and ES (super low double digit) with the Hornady brass. But the even with nearly the exact same average. The Federal brass had triple numbers in both the SD and ES. Both shot fine, but it was an eye opener with the two different brands of brass. [/QUOTE]
